Owen Coyle's pre-match voodoo ritual

[Montreal Wanderer]

Doesn't he plant a penny under the bit of turf? I thought thats what it showed on sunday.

Aye. Like a scotchman would ever discard a penny like that....

Long after the game and the cameras left he went and dug them up I expect.

I think he's just showing that as well as playing decent football with predominantly the same players, he can do the gardening better than the previous wakner too.

Good one

I thought he might have been doing what we used to do on a sunday before a game. Clearing up all the dog sh*t............

Reminds me of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. They brought in Canadians to do the ice surface for the hockey. These guys buried a one dollar canadian coin at center ice for good luck. After winning the gold medal game the Canadian players dug out the coin. Yeah Canadians are pretty tight too.

It is now in the Hockey Hall of Fame. It was an amusing sidelight of those games.

There's rumours going around it was a magnet and he put one in the match ball. When he realised which way we were kicking he dug it up quick.
